Perfect Pairings for Fall: Out and About with Keeler BMW

Friday, 12 October, 2018

With as many BMW models to choose from as there are fall pleasures to enjoy, Keeler BMW has the Ultimate Driving Machine for all your Autumn adventures! Whether your current, or potential, BMW is a versatile Sports Activity Vehicle, Convertible, Sedan, Coupe or Eco-Friendly travel partner, we have the ideal outing in mind for you and your ride.

Apple & Pumpkin Picking: There’s not a more classic fall activity than visiting one of the many local orchards for some family fun. Whether picking out your pumpkin for that killer Halloween jack-o-lantern at Altamont Orchards, or hand-selecting crisp apples at Kristy’s Barn in Schodack, the BMW X5 or X3 are the perfect way to get there. Eyeing the biggest pumpkin in the patch? No problem! The X5 offers 72.3 cubic feet of cargo space, the option of 40/20/40 rear-folding seats, and plenty of room to bring the entire family with optional third row seating. On the drive, passengers can take in the fall scenery through the panoramic moonroof, while you, as the driver can feel confident in the safety provided by the Active Driving Assistant. If a Sports Activity Vehicle of a smaller variety is more your style, the X3 delivers 62.7 cubic feet of storage, thanks to split fold-down rear seat and standard 8-speed Steptronic Sport Automatic Transmission to assure a zippy ride home with the goods.

Historic Sunday Drive: Imagine a Fall drive to the Saratoga Battlefield in a BMW convertible 2 series, 4 series, Z4 Roadster or M4, feeling the cool breeze while viewing the 155-foot tall Saratoga Monument. Ride in style, top up or down, enjoying the colors of autumn and the patriotic roots of the Revolutionary War’s turning point. After observing the rich history of this Capital Region landmark, be sure to stop for a delicious cider donut at nearby Saratoga Apple.

Fall Date Night: Arrive in comfort and style in the BMW 5 Series Sedan, which is called a “passenger pleaser” for good reason. While settled in the luxurious cabin, Intelligent Voice Control has you covered to smoothly maneuver your playlist through its Harman Kardon® or Bowers & Wilkins Surround Sound System. Where to? Gesture Control can navigate to any one of Keeler’s “Keep it Local” Merchant Partners, such as Albany’s elegant Yonos or, Schenectady’s Aperitivo Bistro, where a pre-theatre meal can be enjoyed a few doors down from a dazzling show at Proctors. Further north? Saratoga is always a date-night destination; show your Keeler Rewards card or key tag at Chianti Il Ristorante when you settle in for a cozy Italian meal.

Feel the Open Road: Take in the colorful foliage in the BMW 8 Series Coupe, with a scenic drive up or down the Northway and along the backroads of Lake George. With the new generation of xDrive and a responsive V-8 engine, agility is assured. Put the 8 Series to the test and enjoy the ride on a Lake George scenic drive.

Shop Local at a Farmer’s Market: There’s no better travel companion to take you to the Farmer’s Market that the i3, BMW’s fully-electric cutie. Not only does the i3 care for the environment with its emissions-free design, but the interior features eco-friendly materials like leather tanned with olive leaf extract and fabric made from recycled bottles. So, grab a basket and head to Saratoga Farmer’s Market or Troy Waterfront Farmer’s Market. When you get there, zip into a tight parking spot, appreciating that your i3 is both fun to drive and a friend to nature.
